The Dodgers originally portrayed Kemp's latest shoulder injury as something that was of little concern. Kemp left Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants after feeling pain in his acromioclavicular joint — where the collarbone meets the shoulder — on a swing and miss in the second inning. He received a cortisone shot on Friday night.

Outfield has become a position of strength for the Dodgers with the emergence of rookie Yasiel Puig and the return of Carl Crawford.

Kemp is hitting just .254 with four homers and 24 RBI in 61 games. He has a .666 OPS.

Matt Kemp said he's going on the disabled list with shoulder soreness.
